The world has been against me longer than I can remember.
The world never liked the way I did anything.
The world has me as a constant member.
The world has always been boring.
The world has me in a trap I can not get out.
The world has had me under a glass cup.
The world has never had any doubt
As far as when I shall give up.
The world has never cared for me.
The world has never cared whether I lived or died.
The world could never see
Where I could always hide.
The world has always seemed to want me dead.
The world has wanted me pinned to the mat.
But I have always tried to get out ahead.
The world has always been like a little rat.
